This was a wonderful tour guided by William Gibbons . His historical perspective on Harlem was very insightful and made the tour both educational and enjoyable.

We enjoyed our tour with William very much. William is very knowledgeable and a great guide. He explained a lot about history, architecture and the social and economic changes that Harlem went through over time. Our tour with William felt like a walk around the neighborhood with a good friend. Thank you very much William! =)
